An expected one-half-inch of ice on lines could cause widespread outages
This from our friend Lelan Statom at NewsChannel 5:
By Tuesday morning, the UCEMC service area could see .25’’-.50’’ of ice.
Ahead of the system, many people will see patchy freezing drizzle and freezing fog, resulting in ice on trees, power lines & roads in some locations.
The Upper Cumberland Airport’s temperature in Sparta has been at 32° or below since 8 p.m. Thursday.
1-2 inches of snow is possible on top of the ice.
The better snow chances in the Upper Cumberland area – Monday afternoon into Tuesday morning.
